Explain how the "Republicans" caused the increase in gasoline prices.
That's easy:
- The Iraq war
- Huge federal defecits
- Weak dollar
- Poor energy policies
- Huge trade imbalance
They are all intertwined with high energy prices in various ways.
You forgot the most important one - namely defending the dollar
against speculation.
That, in my opinion, is the real crime.
Defend it exactly how? It isn't backed by silver, gold or oil in a known
guaranteed quantity of something of tangible fixed value. Thus, it is open
to speculation.
